• Quant employment verification: NOT CONFIRMED. The complete employer timeline carries no quantitative-trading, market-making, hedge-fund, or systematic-trading role: Rocket Fuel Inc. (programmatic advertising), Sunday Ins (insurance/marketplace), Databricks (data infrastructure), Grammarly (writing assistance), Adobe (software intern), and Kiatnakin Phatra Financial Group (Thai bank/securities group). At Kiatnakin Phatra his title is Engineering Manager, Department Head of Data Platform - a data-engineering management role, not a quantitative researcher/trader seat. Kiatnakin Phatra is a financial institution that does post quant roles (e.g. Quantitative Researcher, Quant Solutions & Derivatives Markets postings), so the employer operates in parts of quantitative finance, but evidence supports no quant role or internship held by this individual. Employer classification: none of his employers is a quant fund, market-maker, prop-trading firm, or systematic-trading desk; Kiatnakin Phatra is a diversified financial group where he works on the data platform. Timeline is index-sourced (LinkedIn-derived index), index-only, not primary-source confirmed.
• Confirmed IMO identity via imo-official.org: competitor #15832, Thailand, bronze medals in both 2007 and 2008 - this primary record corroborates the olympiad lead independently of the LinkedIn index.2008
• Career timeline from a LinkedIn-derived index (index-only, not primary-source confirmed): Rocket Fuel Inc. software engineer 2014-2015; Sunday Ins software engineer 2016-2017 then Technical Lead/Senior Software Engineer 2017-2018; Databricks Software Engineer, Data Platform 2018-2022; Grammarly Data Engineer 2022-2024; Kiatnakin Phatra Financial Group Engineering Manager, Department Head of Data Platform from April 2024.
• The LinkedIn index lists no quantitative-trading, market-making, hedge-fund, or systematic-trading employer at any point; the full employer set is advertising (Rocket Fuel), insurance/marketplace startups (Sunday), data infrastructure (Databricks), writing assistance (Grammarly), and a Thai financial group (Kiatnakin Phatra).
• Education per the LinkedIn index: Stanford University, Bachelor's in Computer Science and Bachelor's in Mathematics 2010-2014, plus a Master's in Computer Science 2013-2014, consistent with the two Research Assistant stints at Stanford (2012, 2013).
• Authored Stanford EE368/CS232 Digital Image Processing final projects on piano-key detection from video, published as Stanford stacks PDFs, with related GitHub repos PianoKeyDetector and SuggestiveContours - evidence of a computer-vision/computer-graphics research thread during the Stanford years.2014
• Personal blog 'Potchy's Blog' (tagline 'Without geometry, life is pointless') hosted at psuteparuk.github.io; the About page identifies him as 'a software engineer from Thailand, although currently based in Palo Alto, CA', an early self-description predating the Databricks period.
• GitHub account psuteparuk is linked from his LinkedIn index and hosts personal projects including RayTracer, SuggestiveContours and PianoKeyDetector, matching the graphics/CV theme of his Stanford coursework.
• Active on Facebook (facebook.com/psuteparuk) and Medium (@psuteparuk); the Facebook page is public and shows personal/photo activity rather than professional content.
